How to grow Cyperus tuberosus

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When growing chrysanthemum, try to use soil with strong drainage. Loose and fertile soil is conducive to its growth.

2. Water: Water it frequently during its growth period, generally 2-3 times a week. It will go dormant in the hot summer, so less watering is required at this time. Also, the amount of watering should be controlled during the rainy season, about 1-2 times a week.

3. Light: Cyperus tuberosus likes a warm growing environment and needs to receive sufficient light every day. The light will be very strong in summer, so try to shade it and ventilate it in time, and avoid it from being exposed to the sun.

2. Breeding Methods

Cutting propagation: Cuttings can be carried out throughout the year, but rooting is faster in spring and autumn, and the survival rate is also higher. First, you must choose branches with neat growth and dense leaves, cut them and insert them into the prepared soil. Roots will grow in about 20-25 days, and when the roots grow to 2-3 cm, they can be potted.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common diseases and pests of tuberose include leaf spot, brown spot, scale insects or red spiders. They should be controlled in time with pesticides after discovery. If diseases occur, Bordeaux mixture can be sprayed, and if insect pests appear, they can be sprayed with carbofuran emulsifiable concentrate.
